Malen hattrick yesterday.

Can we just clarify here please, it was never Doug’s wallet we were opening it was the clubs. He never put a penny into the club other than to buy the controlling share off the Bendalls.

Never forgive, never forget.
me too
Add my Dad to that list, Iam sure he has looked Doug up and had a word

(Yes I am bitter.)

Yes, if we can pick up 50 to 60 million total for the sale of Guessand and Malen that can only bode well.

What will we get for Barranchea?  THere’s also the young RB at Leipzig but I think I read they’re declining the option to buy him.  Are there anymore?

I think he already left for about 10 mil

No to Wilson...coming off a fantastic season no doubt but going to demand a massive contract. Casemiro, that's a piss take? 22-25 year olds needed.

It’s one of those situations, as with Tielemans, where Unai makes a personal visit to ascertain the player’s “sporting objectives” (i.e., gentle incitation not to take the piss).

From what I can find online Barrenechea, Guessand and Malen have set fees in the region of £15m, £30m and £25m. There's probably some performance clauses in amongst that but given all 3 are either confirmed or look highly likely we're looking at £60-70m incoming from them. That can be added to the removal of their wages and amortisation costs from the SCR calculations. The fees get spread over 3 seasons under the current rules but even still all told it's going to be about £40m a year freed up for the next 3 seasons.

Yorke was spotted by Doug, who pointed him out to Graham Taylor when we played a friendly in Trinidad. That's Doug's version; Sir Graham's tale differed slightly. 

Didn't SGT used to do things like that, convince Doug it was his idea about a potential signing to get him to open his wallet?

He did, but to repeat, it was never his money.

Guessand's move to Palace on a permanent seems far from certain. He's got a way to go to hit those goals and assist targets they have in the agreement. And I'm not sure his form recently has been strong enough for them to dismiss the performance clause and just sign him anyway? Hopefully he scores an important goal in their winning of the Conference.

No way Guesand is going anywhere he’s just no where near good enough for any prem team
I think we will be stuck with him loaning him out constantly until his contract expires
